Question

:My repository is very large and I cannot afford to take it offline for a long rebuild. Is there a way to do it while keeping the repository running?

Answer

:It is possible to reconstitute the database and/or resource index while the repository is running in read-only mode. This is called a warm rebuild. People will still be able to access (but not change) items in your repository while the rebuild is taking place, but a quick restart will be required at the end of the process.
